About

Provided by Robins Kaplan LLP

The Robins Kaplan Antitrust and Trade Regulation Group is one of the nation’s premier antitrust practices. Our team of legal professionals hails from diverse backgrounds, including former trial attorneys from the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, two former U.S. Attorneys, and the current president of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers.
